Found this yesterday at a site in Madison County, New York. It is Middle Devonian, Hamilton Group, but I don't know the specific formation. Is it a crinoid head and if so what species or genus? Thanks.

I don’t see a calyx, but that could be just my eyes.

looks like a crushed calyx to me

I see a crushed calyx left of center. There could be a smaller one just below that.

There appears to be another in cross section on the right side of the plate and one on the bottom edge.

But it is hard to be sure with the fuzzy focus.

 

Nice find!:wub:

Must just be my eyes then, I’m glad!
